Miomantis paykullii parthogenetic ?

[mkayum]

So far I researched this species and I didn't know that they could produce fertile ooths without being mated.

Do anyone have this experience with this species?

Are they easy to keep? Any requirments to keep them?

Thank you!

They're in my top 3 favorite species. I have all females, and yes, they produce fertile ooths without a mating, although I hear hatch rates are much better from a mated female. They are small, busy, great hunters, really curious and friendly (if you open the container they always head out to say hello). Also, my very light-colored female is cool in that you can see her prey going down her translucent body. Even better, this and my creos are the only species I keep that have NEVER had a problem molting.

I have an ooth I'm waiting to hatch - I can let you know when it does if you're interested.
